…where after reading, instead of reacting I copy and paste URLs and articles into an e-mail to myself, let time pass, chew on it a bit, and resolve to just let it pass too. So beyond an e-mail and the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Well here it is, folks, here it is: Spinning post No. 4000.  There were hundreds more on other weblogs, most of which have been wiped out at whim. And here it is, still three months away from my four-year anniversary. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

(God, I love that; I love coming up with a phrase from the past, going with the flow of the writing, remembering to check on the phrase via Google, and finding I remembered it well.  Almost as big a kick … Continue reading → Continue reading →

A funny thing happened this morning; well, not all that funny, just thought-provoking about new media means of communication such as text messaging, forums, and in particular, blogging. I went to leave a comment on a friend’s weblog entry, and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Now isn’t this so much more cheerful? (Some of you may not see it, those who do may wish they didn’t.) Continue reading →

Though these issues tend to be recurring, enough to bring to mind a "cry wolf" effect, there was a very real crisis here that resulted in the wiping out of three out of four weblogs and Spinning was honestly this … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Unbelievable; you shout out into the great internet cosmos that you’re having a problem and who answers but Rick Klau from Feedburner itself!  What service! I’ve stripped back in the entry module so don’t think I’m losing it if you … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Yep, the Feedburner code was the problem, but taking out the module prevents me from getting into the Feedburner site, regardless of the fact that I have Hypercompendia under the same account.  The codes for both are exactly the same, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Just a test really on the problem of the mini-posting that ended up in the sidebar.  Found the code and took something out of the main index, but I suspect I may have taken Spinning out of the RSS feed … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Okay, so I don’t know how long it’s been there but I’ve just noticed that at the end of my right sidebar the postings are listed, just as they are in the main column but in emaciated form. I’ve checked … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I love this piece at Wired by Tony Long: Before you can expect a bunch of utterly spoiled, self-indulgent bloggers (i.e. the kind who indulge in their online mudslinging) to practice civility, you might try restoring a bit of it … Continue reading → Continue reading →

While the post itself is excellent, what sparked my interest in Scott Esposito’s post regarding a review of the book Jamestown is this phrase:  "a book that has pinged my radar…" While Scott is using it in its traditional definition, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Yay!  I fixed it!  All on my own, thank you very much.  No offers of help poured in–not even a drizzle so either we have a case here of that "distancing" that I was alluding to as far as feeds … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I suppose it was that post knocking the concept of feeds, and the wrong people read it.  I’m still stuck in 2004.  This post is just a test to see if the new modules I put into the templates for … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Help! You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been through to correct the feed here.  I’ve risked all I’ve written in over three years, some 3600+ entries, disconnected, deleted, republished, reconnected, and still, on the IE toolbar feed brings me to up-to-date … Continue reading → Continue reading →
